Sengoku Basara 4 takes number one in Japan

Capcom's Sengoku Basara 4 topped the Japanese software chart last week with more than 176,000 units sold.

According to data from Media Create, the PlayStation 3 hack 'n' slash title was a comfortable first place, selling around 120,000 units more than its next nearest rival, Kirby: Triple Deluxe on 3DS.

The most surprising new entry was Saints Row IV: Ultra Super Ultimate Deluxe Edition, the PlayStation 3 version of which entered the chart in fourth place on nearly 35,000 units sold. Combined with the Xbox 360 version, which hit the charts at number 20, Saints Row 4 would have sold just under 40,000 units - enough to put it ahead of Puzzle & Dragons Z in third place.

It was very much business as usual in the hardware chart, with the Nintendo 3DS still the number one platform in Japan. However, despite declining sales on every platform except for PlayStation 3, its lead has narrowed to a margin of less than 5,000 units.

The full hardware chart is below, with the previous week's sales in parentheses.
